Space Surfers

by Anne E. Johnson

Teenage siblings Lerris and Graika of the planet Soranen want to go into Outer Space, an act forbidden by their people, the Sor. The Sor, it is believed, are the descendants of the Ellarisor and the Humans, now both extinct on Soranen. When Lerris surfs above the clouds in his minijet, he spots a vessel owned by Lorfallin, a chemical magnate. The ship is spraying a green mist that, it turns out, causes a disease which affects those with Human ancestry, including the siblings’ father.
Thus begins a journey to find pure descendants of the Ellarisor, whose blood might provide an antidote to the green mist. Along the way, Lerris and Graika learn the truth about their ancestry, and some truths about Life. This prepares them for the final battle—against the Tusk, who have engaged Lorfallin to destroy all trace of Human life. If they win, Outer Space may be open to them. But if they lose . . .

A lot of work went into the creation of this book --- if you enjoy science fiction, it would be a GREAT read. As teenage twins are the main characters I’m assuming the book is probably for young teenagers although I enjoyed it also. Parts of it, made me remember Star Trek television series! The plot was interesting, entertaining – and a well written story. The novel was curious, captivating and made you both contemplate and marvel at the same time! Most ponderable!
